Read our privacy policy Electronic music duo Maribou State have cancelled all of their forthcoming live shows, along with planned new music releases, while band member Chris Davids recovers from brain surgery. “The surgery, for the most part, was successful and the symptoms have now either been resolved or are in remission, however there were multiple complications that have since slowed my recovery and presented me with new challenges that, five months on, are still ongoing.” Davids said that, as a result, the band had made the difficult decision that they would be “pressing pause” on the project “for the time being”, including cancelling all their live shows for 2024 and postponing the release of any new music. “We know this will come as very disappointing news for those who have purchased tickets and have been patiently waiting on new music,” Davids said. “It’s been a long journey since the last album but we’re both so grateful for the all the love and support you’ve continued to show, and we both truly can’t wait to send some of that back your way once I’m out the other side.” Enjoy unlimited access to 100 million ad-free songs and podcasts with Amazon Music Sign up now for a 4 month free trial Sign up Enjoy unlimited access to 100 million ad-free songs and podcasts with Amazon Music Sign up now for a 4 month free trial Sign up Maribou State, whose members met at school, released their first music in 2011 and have since recorded a number of EPs and two studio albums, incuding their debut, Portraits, in 2015, and 2019’s Kingdoms in Colour.
